Wendy Cox

September 30, 1968 - May 18, 2021

Wendy Ann Cox, 52, Topeka, Kansas, lost a courageous four-year battle with ovarian cancer on Tuesday, May 18, 2021, at Midland Care Hospice House in Topeka. Wendy was born September 30, 1968, in Hutchison, Kansas, daughter of Sally Kern, who died in 2016, and Dan and Sharon Deming of Hutchison. She was a graduate of Hutchinson High School, Hutchinson Community College and Wichita State University where she achieved her medical degree as a certified physician assistant, specializing in heart surgery. Wendy was uniquely qualified to assist with heart operations and patient follow up, spending her final years of patient care at The University of Kansas Health System St. Francis Campus, Topeka. She had earlier been a physician assistant in the Stormont Vail Hospital Emergency Room, Topeka, the Hutchinson Clinic, and other Kansas practices. Wendy was especially devoted to her patients and until several weeks before her death was involved in lengthy operating room surgery. Wendy centered much of her love and attention to her son, Andrew Cox, who died February 5, 2021, in Topeka. She was especially appreciative to her fellow doctors and health care professionals who gave her opportunities to help people in special and memorable way that will never be forgotten. Other survivors include her sister, Shannon Guild (Doug), Rogers, AR, who devoted special care and comfort by making numerous trips to Topeka. Wendy’s family also included several devoted friends and caregivers, Mary Roy, Topeka, Angie Gamber, Topeka, and Kait Hupe, Wamego, who assisted her in home and hospice care. She also acknowledges the care given by those at Midland Care Hospice. Also giving much appreciated support were Pam and Mike Clutter, Topeka, Paul Cox, Diana Leuschner and the Cox Family in Washington State. Numerous nieces, nephews and other family members in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas also mourn Wendy’s loss along with her faithful miniature bulldog, Stella. Visitation will be 3 to 5 p.m. Sunday, May 23, 2021, at Kevin Brennan Family Funeral Home, 2801 SW Urish Road, Topeka KS 66614, where celebration of Wendy’s life will be at 5 p.m. Wendy requested burial in Hutchinson alongside her grandmother, June Deming, who also was overjoyed by her presence and accomplishments. Memorial contributions may be made to Oxford House of Kansas, Helping Hands Humane Society, Hutchinson Animal Shelter, St. Jude’s Children Research Hospital, or to The University of Kansas Cancer Research, and sent in care of the funeral home.
